EBCDIC-Sequential to ASCII-Indexed COBOL Source To Create a Micro Focus File |

This is an example of how a COBOL program can read a sequential file that has been downloaded from a mainframe in EBCDIC format and write to an ASCII-Idexed file. The COBOL source code was generated using SimoZAPS, a product of SimoTime Enterprises. The SimoZAPS utility program also has the capability of reading, writing or converting between other file formats.
In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This program is provided as a COBOL example of one of the possible solutions to the problem of changing the contents and structure of data files.
This program will read an EBCDIC, Sequential (QSAM) file and write an ASII-Indexed (VSAM, KSDS - Keyed Sequential Data Set) file. The keys must be in sequence (as defined by the ASCII collating sequence) for writing to the output file.
The sorting or collating sequence for ASCII and EBCDIC are different and produce different results. For example, with ASCII the numbers are sorted before the alphabet and with EBCDIC the numbers are sorted after the alphabet. If the key field is a combination of numeric and alphabetic characters it will probably be necessary to convert the EBCDIC-Sequential file to an ASCII-Sequential file, sort the ASCII-Sequential file and then convert the ASCII-Sequential file to an ASCII-Indexed file. Another alternative is to do an unordered load (or random-add) of the Indexed or KSDS file. This approach is slower than an ordered load but does allow for the key-fields to be added randomly to the indexed or KSDS file.
The following is the COBOL source code for the file conversion.

* This program was created with the SYSMASK1.TXT file as input. *
* The SYSMASK1 provides for the sequential reading of the input *
* file and the sequential writing of the output file. *
* *
* If the output file is indexed then the input file must be in *
* sequence by the field that will be used to provide the key *
* for the output file. This is a sequential load process. *
* *
* If the key field is not in sequence then refer to SYSMASK2 *
* to provide for a random add or update of the indexed file. *
* *
* This program mask will have the ASCII/EBCDIC table inserted *
* for use by the /TRANSLATE function of SimoZAPS. *
